5.00I took a busy vacation trip from Canada with my partner in December 2025. I had an amazing experience with Mohammed Salim. We did the Nizwa/Jabel Akhdar tour. He want out of his way to not only made us feel welcome but treat us like a family. We not only went to all the necessary places in our itinerary, he was kind to get us some dates and breakfast. We felt extremely comfortable with him and took great care of us. I connected with him like a family and was really inspired by his story. If you are in Oman, please go with Sunshine Tours, you will have a great time.

5.00We had a very comfortable and enjoyable trip from Muscat to Jebel Akhdar. We were guided by Fauzi, who didn’t only drive but also explained about Oman history and culture. We stopped in some famous spots on the way, such as Nizwa Port, Nizwa souk, Nizwa old village, and Jebel Akhdar view points. Fauzi was knowledgeable and accommodating, made sure we enjoyed our trip. Highly recommended!
Excellent Trip

5.00★★★★★ 5 Stars We had an amazing experience with our Oman day tour to Nizwa and Jebel Akhdar. Our tour guide, Mr. Said Al Kiyumi, was outstanding — professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient throughout the entire trip. He shared fascinating information about Oman’s history, culture, and traditions, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The itinerary was perfectly organized, covering Nizwa Souq, Nizwa Fort, Birkat Al Mouz, and the breathtaking views of Jebel Akhdar. Mr. Said made sure we were comfortable at every stop and gave us enough time to enjoy and explore each place. The 4WD vehicle was clean and comfortable, and the driving was very safe and smooth. We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and highly recommend Mr. Said Al Kiyumi and the tour company to anyone visiting Oman. Thank you for making our trip unforgettable!
Excellent experience.

Quite a change from Muscat

5.00A full day was promised and it was - start at 8.30am and back at nearly 6pm. The drive is 140km and 2 hours each way. Comfortable. A good look at the rather forbidding countryside dotted by villages and towns. On the way an impromptu visit to our guide Ali’s home village with an insight into their life. The Nizwa Fort well worth a visit. Our tour included a visit to several markets - the merchants often welcome our guide with a handshake and a smiling greeting. Very few tourists due no doubt to the war but all very peaceful here. Then up to Jebel Akhdar mountains and a visit to the terraced gardens of olives, pomegranates and roses. Our guide a gentle softly spoken man with quiet humour. A long but satisfying day.

5.00We loved this tour with our 4 year old. Said Al Kiyumi was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We’re only in Oman for 3 nights so it was great to see some other parts of the country. We would highly recommend. Big thanks for Said!

5.00We had an amazing tour in Oman with Shaker — truly one of the best experiences of our trip! 🌟 We explored Nizwa Fort and enjoyed incredible views and history, then walked through Nizwa Souq, where Shaker helped us find authentic Omani products and explained the local traditions behind them. It made shopping there so much more special! We also visited the beautiful ruins of Birkat Al Mouz, learned about the traditional aflaj irrigation system, and spent time with a small walk in the stunning mountains of Jebel Akhdar with breathtaking views and fresh air. Shaker was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day fun and relaxed. Highly recommend touring Oman with him — a perfect mix of culture, history, and unforgettable scenery! 🇴🇲✨
